Analysts forecast a target price of $382.33 over the next 12 months for CACC, maintaining an Underperform consensus rating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, some positive signals emerge amidst the gloom. An underpriced cash flow, positive free cash flow, exemplary return on assets, and a high gross profit to asset ratio suggest hidden value underneath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, signs of concern are unmistakable as well. Poor capital utilization, an overblown price to book value, and price to earnings ratio indicate overpricing, while high volatility and leverage signal unstable ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- STA Widget BEGIN --><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"sta-analyst-rating-widget-display\">\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #4b6db5 !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stocktargetadvisor.com\/stock\/USA\/NSD\/CACC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CACC Ratings<\/a> by Stock Target Advisor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script class=\"analyst-rating\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stocktargetadvisor.com\/assets\/js\/analyst_rating_widget.js\" data-symbol=\"CACC\" data-theme=\"wt_bg_trans\" data-uid=\"169237190465cb3be3e76f165cb3be3e76f2\" data-width=\"696\" >\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Analyst&#8217;s Take on Credit Acceptance Corporation:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 market analysts cover CACC, with an average rating tilting towards &#8216;Sell&#8217;.
